“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.” The immortal words of President Kennedy. Representative Lewis and his renegade capital gang of 66 other Congressional representatives have chosen not to attend the inauguration for their country. They, instead, opted to stay at home plotting for even more divisive and disruptive measures to undermine President Trump’s incoming administration.

Whether they are watching reruns of President Obama’s inaugurations of 2008 and 2012 in their cozy homes or participating in a teleconference with fellow hateful and unpatriotic people, they are not doing anything for their country. The world is watching. This absent gang are shirking their responsibilities to do what they can for their country. They should take a serious look at their first responsibility which is to represent all people in their district and lose their fantasy about Donald Trump not being legitimate. They are purposely with intent trying (but failing) to delegitimize our new President. They are actually showcasing their intellectual dishonesty and failure to represent their constituents and America to the world. They know if the opposite were happening with a Hillary Clinton victory, they would be throwing every ism and phobic in the book at Republicans. The Capital Gang renegades do not represent America. They are in essence embarrassing America and need to return their salaries to the Treasury.
